I have only log information (and of course the email (that I included in the 
initial message) that is sent by system).  I have included an excerpt of the 
filter.log file (I inserted the blank lines, to make it better readable).

kolab is last beta version 2.2b3 (natively running on openSUSE-10.3)

Yes, that is possible.  But I want to know, whether I should open an issue for 
this?  Is there a chance that it will get solved?
